Vero Premier Properties, a signature division of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, was a proud signature sponsor of the 2025 Answer to Cancer annual event at Grand Harbor in Vero Beach, Florida — an evening that raised $150,000 to support cancer patients and their families at the Scully-Welsh Cancer Center at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital.

Vero Beach, FL — Vero Premier Properties, led by top-producing real estate agents Ben Bryk and Vance Brinkerhoff, served as a signature sponsor of the 2025 Answer to Cancer (ATC) annual gala held at Grand Harbor in Vero Beach, Florida. The event raised $150,000 for cancer patients receiving care at the Scully-Welsh Cancer Center at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital, bringing ATC's cumulative giving to the center to more than $1,500,000 since the charity's founding.

The annual signature event, which takes place each March at Grand Harbor, is the cornerstone fundraiser for Answer to Cancer, Inc. — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created more than 15 years ago by a group of Grand Harbor community members dedicated to supporting cancer patients and their families during treatment. This year's event was made possible by the extraordinary generosity of volunteers, Grand Harbor members, and community partners, including Vero Premier Properties.

"Our recent growth at the Scully-Welsh Cancer Center reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality cancer care — right here in our community. We're not only expanding access to advanced treatments, but also investing in the programs that support our patients' overall well-being. This progress would not be possible without the support of partners like Answer to Cancer, whose generosity helps us care for the whole person, not just the disease."

Brian Burkey, MD — Director, Scully-Welsh Cancer Center at Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital

Ben Bryk and Vance Brinkerhoff, who together represent more than 35 years of exceptional real estate service in the Vero Beach market, have long been committed to reinvesting in the communities they serve. With more than 2,000 transactions and over $1 billion in career sales volume, Bryk and Brinkerhoff were recently named among the Top 10 Most Trusted Real Estate Agents in Florida for 2025 by Apple News. Their sponsorship of Answer to Cancer reflects a shared belief that business success carries a responsibility to uplift neighbors, friends, and community members facing life's most difficult challenges.

"We always supported Answer to Cancer, but I never knew how important those contributions were to those who suffer with cancer until I was diagnosed with it."
